Chapter 173: Trading Market
Gongsun Chan saw that Gongsun Xu was full of confidence, and even a proud posture appeared on his face, and he suddenly felt a little unhappy in his heart.
Gongsun Chan has always felt that Gongsun Xu has opened his mind after the Battle of Shimen, and he can take over the Gongsun family instead of him in the future and become the pillar of the Gongsun family.
However, at this time, Gongsun continued to say such childish words, how could he hold back the anger in his heart.
But what! Gongsun Chan did not reveal the dissatisfaction and unhappiness in his heart, but said solemnly: "Continue to mess around." The Gongsun family has been operating in this place for several generations, adding to his father as the Taishou of Beiping, although it has not benefited the people of this side, but the Gongsun family is well-known in Beiping County, how can it do it to borrow money and not pay it back, and the family businessmen deny it? My father has never restrained what you do in Xiangping, but the families and merchants in Beiping can't let you be disturbed. ”
Regarding Gongsun Xu's statement, Gongsun Chan was really annoyed. The merchants in Peking are different from those in Xiangping, and the merchants in Xiangping are all small families, even if Gongsun renews their money and does not pay it back, they will not make any moves.
As long as they want to survive in Xiangping and Liaodong, then they must rely on their father and son, and the little family and Shangjia both understand this truth in their hearts.
However, the families and merchants on the Beiping side are very different from the Xiangping side. The big families here in Beiping are the kind of big families that have been experienced for more than a hundred years, and they have some relationship with the rulers in the imperial court.
If you really offend them very much, these families and merchants will not be so easy to talk to. Even whether the Gongsun family can stay in Beiping for a long time is not certain.
Gongsun Xu was at a loss before why Gongsun Chan said a slight smell of powder, and when he heard Gongsun Xu's later words, he realized that it was his father who misunderstood that he was going to take advantage of the family and the merchants.
Gongsun Xu couldn't help but be embarrassed, he was not stupid, he would not do that kind of thing to kill chickens and take eggs no matter what. Whether it is his grandson Xu or the grandson family behind him, they are inseparable from the support of these families and businessmen.
Gongsun Xu hurriedly surrendered his hand and quickly explained: "Father misunderstood, the child did not mean to borrow money and not pay it back, let alone the idea of stealing and grabbing. ”
Gongsun Xu saw that his father's face warmed slightly, and he immediately continued: "Father, this time I came to Beiping to invite the family and the big businessman to Xiangping to be guests, the child will never force them to lend me a penny, the child wants to invite them to Xiangping City, so that they can willingly cooperate with the child and invest together to do big business."
Gongsun Zhan's expression became better and better, and he faintly felt that his son would not do such a stupid thing, but what! Gongsun Chan still reserved some opinions about Gongsun Xu before Gongsun Xu explained this matter clearly.
Gongsun Chan said lightly: "Sit down and talk." Since you have said so, then tell me what is the difference between not repaying the money you borrowed and taking it by force. ”
Seeing that Gongsun Zhan's tone was relaxed, Gongsun Xu took his hand back, and sat down respectfully at Gongsun Zhan's hand, and said loudly: "Businessmen seek profits, as long as they invest, they must make profits. With more than 50% of the profits, they can risk their lives, and if there is a chance to double or become a big family, they will not hesitate to bet on the future of the family. Although my father is relieved, our grandson's family does not contribute money to this matter, but just picks the lead to do something. The son wanted to give it a try, and he hoped that the father would agree. ”
Gongsun Zhan's eyes drooped slightly, but there was a glimmer of light in his slightly closed eyes. Gongsun Chan thought in his heart that he actually underestimated his son.
But what! Gongsun Zhan suddenly remembered something, frowned slightly, and slowly asked, "Since our family doesn't invest money, why do we do this provocative thing?" If you collect money, in troubled times, those families and big businessmen are not fools, why should they share their profits with the Gongsun family? ”
Gongsun Chan is not disgusted with what Gongsun Xu said at this time, as long as he can be tied up with the great family and the big businessman, he likes to see it, after all, the war in Youzhou is together, and these big families and big businessmen are still needed to sponsor it.
It is a very good thing that Gongsun Xu has this idea, but he is not afraid that what Gongsun Xu has done will not satisfy everyone, but hurt the harmony.
If a businessman doesn't make money, then he will never be willing to pay.
Gongsun Xu smiled slightly, and said to Gongsun Chan with a calm face: "Father, Master Mingjian, although the Gongsun family does not make money, but the Gongsun family is investing in other ways. If the Gongsun family was not involved in this matter, even if these big families and businessmen saw the business opportunity, they would not be able to do this. The Gongsun family does not contribute money, but it will collect a certain amount of dry shares and fees from it. As the income of the Gongsun family's efforts, I will explain these things to those family leaders and big businessmen in advance. Without the military protection of the Gongsun family, it is difficult for them to do any business in Liaodong now. Therefore, it is imperative to cooperate with the Gongsun family, and I think that as long as the helmsman of these great families is not stupid, he will not refuse to do this business with the Gongsun family. ”
Gongsun continued to talk in front of Gongsun Chan, without feeling any discomfort at all because Gongsun Chan had been gloomy face.
For Gongsun Xu, it is too normal for the superior to show such an appearance at any time, and in his previous life, Gongsun Xu had no less contact with this kind of person in power who handled it well.
No matter who is in power, they have a lot to think about, even the smallest and most trivial matters, and they think through them before they speak.
The slow speech of the superior has been an unchanged truth for thousands of years, and Gongsun Zhan's slow speaking speed is also due to this aspect.
Don't look at the father-son relationship between Gongsun Chan and Gongsun Xu, in the process of speaking, Gongsun Chan also has to think about it for more time.
Gongsun Xu is a modern person who has traveled to the end of the Han Dynasty, and he has the clearest grasp of the capital operation, especially when Gongsun Xu is going to invest in the construction of a large trading market.
The geographical location of Xiangping City is extremely critical, it belongs to the place where it is handed over to Wuhuan and Goguryeo, and this place is relatively close to the sea, and the shipping industry will be quite strong under the operation of Gongsun Xu in the future.
If a large market for free trading is opened in Xiangping City, and the Great Shi Clan and Gongsun Xu only act as managers to extract a part of the commission of the transactions to ensure the safety of the trading merchants, then the merchants of the entire Northeast region in Gongsun Xu's memory will flock here to trade.
Once this kind of market is built, it is a gold-absorbing machine, and there is no other market of its size.
To build this large trading market, Gongsun Xu had the idea of his descendants.
